Old and tired, checkout took half an hour.
Pros:

Old and tired hotel. Staff are polite but do not understand customer service. Breakfast expensive for what it was. Unable to charge meals to room ("due to people doing a runner in the morning without paying their bill"!) I had ticked, pay on arrival and had I not told them, could have walked out. Once I paid my bill they charge 50p more than the bill which they could not give me until later by email! Staying in area again next week, it will not be at the Northern Hotel.

Pros:

A little confusing over price of breakfast as listed as 8.95 and also states that in guest information in room but on the day was charged over 12.00. Not good.

If you have to go to Brechin stay here
Pros:

The hotel is looking very tidy and looks to have recently been redecorated. We had a warm friendly welcome from the family. My room was clean and well appointed, with a nice hot shower. Big shout out to the chef as our evening meal and breakfast were delicious. Would definitely stay here again!

Pros:

This is a great place and I have stayed here before. The reason for not giving it 5 stars across the board is the mattress in my room was old and bumpy. If the bed would have been more comfortable I would have given 5 stars on every level.
